Budget Friendly Before-and-After Kitchen Makeover

Good morning, friends! Happy October to you! Recently, I've been doing some work in my kitchen.

It felt outdated and dark. (You can view more before pictures by clicking here.) The improvements I made, created a bright-clean look. I'm so excited to reveal my kitchen makeover. It was a lot of work, but my efforts were worth it in the end.

I would like to sincerely thank Glidden and Instant Granite for sponsoring this project. Their support made this makeover possible.

I began by painting the walls. Above the chair rail is painted Glidden Stone White and below the chair rail is painted Glidden Smooth Stone. I didn't want the walls to appear shiny, so I chose an eggshell finish.

What a difference a fresh coat of paint made on the cabinets.

They were previously painted white, but inside the bottom cabinets contained a lot of ridges and drips of dried paint. I removed the cabinet doors, stripped the layers of paint off and sanded everything smooth before repainting. It was a lot of tedious prep work.

But when I look back I'm glad I took the time to properly prepare the surface for paint.

Oh my goodness, you did such incredible job! Painting the cabinets is a lot of work but it's so worth it. It all looks beautiful! I love the painted backsplash and the new island. Enjoy your pretty kitchen!
